I just saw the movie. Everyone is dead! Ha, I love it! I'm fairly critical about everything. No lasers, action packed, a few ninja for the kiddies. What's there not to like? A few things that I said that would never happen to, but in the end it's a movie. If you do the undo able in a movie what's he point? I give it a B+ maybe A- for being a gi joe movie. The last one was an F, no doubt about it. I actually liked all of flints action sequences. Not so much his talking, but what can you do. I seriously went into this thing thinking I would hate it reading some of the crap reviews. I pleasantly surprised.

Like you said Duke can come back if they want him to do so. Some of the comments on here make me chuckle. It's like no one has seen a cartoon, read a comic, or seen an action/fantasy movie. I seriously doubt he will come back, but who knows. Someone at Paramount may think they need Tatum for whatever reason. Doubt it, but dead is dead doesn't apply story wise in these type of movies.

I watched the movie with commentary and they went into detail as to why they killed off Duke(reason already mentioned above) but they also said he maybe could come back also...so I agree with Jay here in that he is dead for now.

Right after that everything is explosion colored. Duke is dead blown to bits.

Now Duke is an important character of the entire Joe mythology but movie Duke is not the same Duke. Look at movie Ripcord and compare him to the previous Ripcord. Would anyone call them the same character?

In that battle:
Duke died, Mouse died, Grunt died, Clutch died and other unnamed Joes.

President Zartan's speech also suggest the more Joes were killed else where.

No. And thank God Jon Chu killed off Firefly, too. I could not tell where the hell Ray Stevenson was trying to be from.

Yeah. I sat down yesterday and watched it again On Demand. My wife was like, "Is he Australian?" I told her to just listen a bit more. He went from a bad southern drawl to Australian back to his native Irish lilt. Had no idea what was going on for a guy that is a pretty good actor. They should've let him do his Irish accent and play a deranged ex-IRA member that became Firefly.
